Three-Man Tug-of-War

Three-Man Tug-of-War

Equipment

A twelve foot rope at least 1/4 inch in diameter (But not more that 1 foot diameter! That would be too hard to tie). Three neckerchiefs or hats.

Play

Tie the ends of the rope together and lay it on the floor or field formed like a triangle. Set a neckerchief or hat about 6 feet from every corner. Send up three scouts from different patrols/dens to grasp their corner in their left hand. On cue, they will all try to grab their neckerchief with the right hand, while holding on to the triangle with their left, and not untying it.
